I had some M-Audio AV30s for about a week. I loved how they sounded, but I noticed a slight rattle in my left speaker. Turns out one of the covers on a capacitor had come off and was rattling around inside the speaker. Needless to say I returned them and decided to try something else.
I must say, these speakers sound just as good if not better than the AV30s. They have plenty of thump with very crisp highs. Plus, unlike the AV30s they have bass and treble controls (verses a bass-boost switch which really took away from the audio). Oh yeah, these are a bit more narrow so they fit on my desk a bit better. Build quality is top notch. Everything is very tight with a fair amount of weight for both speakers. Knobs are very stiff with no play. Obviously, no rattles, buzzes or anything to speak of. Right now, I can't think of anything negative to say about them. Now, these don't seem to get quite as loud as the AV30s did, but well beyond anything I'd turn them to for normal listening. With the PC set to 50% and the knob turns to about 1/3 up, I'd say it's plenty loud for casual music enjoyment. With the knob halfway up is really rocking, anything higher and your ears start to bleed.
So yeah, assuming these don't die within a week, I think we've found a winner.

If you're looking for a set of computer speakers that won't take up much desktop space and provide great sound, check out the Hercules XPS 60 2.0 speakers.
These speakers are rated at 30 watts but pack plenty of sound. The XPS 60 set are a two-piece audio system without a separate subwoofer. The bass is created by a port at the rear of each speaker when placed close to a wall. The bass is good, but not great. If you need great bass, get a 3-piece system with a separate sub.
Besides the good sound, the Hercules XPS 60 offers separate bass and treble controls. How many 2.0 systems offer these controls?
Unlike many computer speakers, the Hercules X60 has no attached wires. Hercules includes separate audio cables with spring clips much like expensive audio speakers. The advantage is that if you move these speakers to another location, you won't have to deal with cumbersome cables than can get tangled.
You can buy an expensive computer speakers for several hundred dollars that sound good. Or you can get excellent audio from a smaller system like the Hercules XPS 60. Don't get hung up on price. $80 or under for these speakers is an incredible value.

For this price, the quality is good. Crisp, clear and powerful enough --- as long as you don't turn the volume to the highest. This is the common sense. However, even without turning the knob to the biggest volume, the sound is still amazing. The only time I can recall any sound with this kind of stereo-like quality is BOSS's, but this one has half the price.
